A great read!' -- ***** Reader review'The Universe in a Nutshell is the best popular science book I have ever read' -- ***** Reader review******************************************************************************Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time was a publishing phenomenon and continues to captivate and inspire new readers every year.

When it was first published in 1988 the ideas discussed in it were at the cutting edge of what was then known about the universe.

In the intervening years there have been extraordinary advances in our understanding of the space and time.

The technology for observing the micro- and macro-cosmic world has developed in leaps and bounds.

During the same period cosmology and the theoretical sciences have entered a new golden age and Professor Stephen Hawking has been at the heart of this new scientific renaissance. Now, in The Universe in a Nutshell, beautifully illustrated with original artwork commissioned for this project, Stephen Hawking brings us fully up-to-date with the advances in scientific thinking. We are now nearer than we have ever been to a full understanding of the universe.

In a fascinating and accessible discussion that ranges from quantum mechanics to time travel, black holes to uncertainty theory and the search for science's Holy Grail - unified field theory (or in layman's terms the 'theory of absolutely everything'), Professor Hawking once more takes us to the cutting edge of modern thinking.
